London: Roman Polanski`s rape victim has repeatedly requested the authorities to withdraw the charges against the director.
The 76-year-old filmmaker has already confessed to having had sex with Samantha Geimer during a photoshoot for a fashion magazine in 1977, when she was just 13.
Polanski was detained by officials in Switzerland on September 26 as he arrived to attend the Zurich film festival, reports the Telegraph.
He may be extradited following a US request for his detention.
Geimer, presently 45, filed a legal declaration in January formally requesting that the charges to be dropped.
She recalled her attempts to resist the sexual intercourse in front of a grand jury. Polanski was later charged with rape and five other felonies.
The mum-of-three has said in a past interview that she continued to be plagued with questions related to her experiences that disrupt her family life.
She said: "I didn`t want to do that. I didn`t want to talk to anyone or tell anyone. I just felt forced to continually tell this story. I was so angry about it. It was like - wasn`t what happened bad enough, now we got to go through every single day of my life."
She added: "True as they may be, the continued publication of those details causes harm to me, my beloved husband, my three children and my mother," she said, adding that it was time for closure. I have survived, indeed prevailed, against whatever harm Mr Polanski may have caused me as a child," she said. Polanski had taken flight, she said, "because the judicial system did not work."
